Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo [Gerard Way, My Chemical Romance & Greenday]Chapter 1

May 2004
Having in a brother in a band is hard, anyone will tell you that. It's not just the fact they earn more than you, or get more attention than you; its the way they can manipulate you into doing anything. But seriously, can anything good ever come out of that?
'Yeah, right.' I thought, as jogged down the stairs with a cup of coffee in my hand. I was staying in my brother Mike's house. It's huge compared to my New York apartment, plus it means I don't have to stretch my already struggling finances.
I'm a hair and makeup stylist, I style bands, and design their looks. However, my brother, on the other hand, is in a band named Greenday. They are pretty big, and earn tonnes more than I do, so the manipulation levels are sky high. Also, I'm 25 years old, my brother is 32, yep, big difference.
"Maddy, Family Meeting!! Kitchen- Now!!" shouted Mike from the kitchen. Great. In our house, 'family' usually means Billie Joe and Tre as well. I ran the rest of the way into the kitchen, and there they all were- sitting around the kitchen table.
They turned to look at me, as Mike spoke up, "Maddy, we have a suggestion for you..."
"Okay..I'm all ears" I said, placing the coffee cup down on the counter.
"Well...we knew you wanted some extra work, and we know a band that are going on tour soon, they need a hair and makeup stylist. So, we thought you may want to accept their offer and go on tour with them...??"
My mouth grew wide with shock. My brother was sending me off on tour with a group of strangers?
"They go on tour in June, so you'll have time to get to know them." Billie Joe continued.
"Wait...who are they? I know nothing about them yet.." I asked, the rest of my body still in shock.
"They're called My Chemical Romance. There's Gereard, Mikey, Frank, Ray and Matt. Also, they are kinda new on the music scene, so they asked for a really proffessional stylist, and we recommended you." Mike finished.
"So...what do I say?" My mind had one thousand decisions running through it, none of them made any sense at all.
"Say yes...come on...they are coming over soon, so you'll get to meet them, it's not like you will be strangers by the time you go ith them." Mike said, looking into my eyes hopefully.
"Okay." I said finally. I did not know what had just come out of my mouth, but I knew that even if i didn't agree, with Mike as a brother, I'd end up going anyway.
Tre was just sat silently at the table, his eyebrows raised, "I have nothing to do with this..." he sang.
As I made my way back up the stairs, pangs of regret entered me. Was it really the right choice? Going around the world with a bunch of strangers, who didn't know me, let alone like me....urrgghh.....decisions.
My thoughts were broken my the sound of the doorbell. Oh my god. It's them!
